  1. i will never not eat a burger!

    nah.. i have all the parts and the wheels coming from CA next week. now all i need is the fucking frame. bianchi needs to stop dragging ass. where do you live in bk minibigben

    I'm in RAMBO! That's what the kids are calling it these days (between dumbo and downtown bk, closer to dumbo)

    I kind of want a concept too, what color is the new one going to be? Still considering one of those faux-pursuit Affinity frames too. But I kind of want Margiela sneaks more...

    What to do?

  2. Got my bike out of storage in midtown today! Riding the west side highway bike path was fun, so fast and smooth. Then went over the bk bridge, amazing how out of shape I am, I was dying! Don't think it helped much that I smoked a shit lot of cigs over the winter, but whatever I'm super excited to be riding again.

    Haven't posted here in forever but lurked a little bit from time to time. ML, did you finish building your concept?

    Going to treat myself to a burger...

  3. yay my bag came in today. it's pretty cool. It's my first real messenger back so I am not used to how it fits on my back, yet.

    Where do you guys/girls keep your U-Lock (if you use one)? I typically put it in my back pocket but then it gets a little hard to sit on the seat. I want to make myself a type of holster for it, maybe..

  4. Their whole collection seems cool this season, check their website. Website is nice too, it's all video features as opposed to just pictures. I'm a fan of the foxing jacket, may be a little heavy for riding a bike, but it has pit vents and looks puffy but it's not a down jacket and kind of want it anyway. And pretty sure you can unzip from the bottom too if you don't want the front all bunched up while riding. This one:

  5. i want a rapha jacket for the winter. someone want to buy it for me? i have no money until i start my new gig. thanks!

    "Rapha Softshell Jacket has won numerous awards"

    Haha, sounds revolutionary. Don't think I'll be dropping $300 on one of those anytime soon though.

    EDIT: Plus you know you're going to need to wear at least a t-shirt under that thing, wouldn't that kill the purpose of having the super high-tech fabric?

  6. I know I'm late on this boat, and they've probably been mentioned before. But I got a pair of the super indigo Thin Finn. I love the finish and it's so nice to wear skinny jeans that have room for your junk, drop crotches are so nice, I don't know why I've held out so long to buy a pair of Nudies.

  7. I got a new chainring and cranks, and had to buy a new chain. I bought a blue KMC on a whim, but I am not sure how I feel about it. What do you guys think?

    Get a black one. The blue seems so random, but whatever, it really doesn't matter.

  8. i ususally ride until there is snow since my bike only has clearance for 23c tires.

    i have a patagonia shell that i normally wear with a t-shirt. no matter how cold it is i always sweat like i'm wearing a plastic bag.

    i hate people who ride on the sidewalk. my old roommate used to ride on the sidewalk since "riding in the street is too dangerous." she ended up running into this girl and almost getting sued for being a dumbass.

    Cool, cool, I should be fine then. What tires would you recommend for the snow? I'm gonna covert my shit into a fixed gear snow-mobile, you know you're jealous.

    Riding on the sidewalk is never a good idea, I only allow myself to go on there if I get cut off really bad and don't feel like stopping and there is no one on it.

  9. FUCK EM! PEDESTRIANS ARE ANNNOOYING. I have to ride through time square pretty often, terrorizing the huge crowds at every block during rush hour is so fun. It's how I take out my pedestrian anger.

    I had pretty bad fall the other day, getting off the Brooklyn bridge, coming out on the manhattan side. As I was turning onto Chambers, my bike slid right out under me, must have been oil on the road. I was so lucky there were red lights all around, which makes no sense, no cars were moving. Usually when I take that turn, there's a car to my right, had there been one, I'd have gone right under, this was night time too. So lucky.

    Change of subject; any NY riders planning on riding all the way through the winter? I really want to. Am I crazy? I figure a snowboard jacket with pit-zips would do the trick. Like a Holden jacket or something.

  10. Sweet. Now that they're got the mlproject approval, I'm definitely going to get one. Pursuit is good for me because I have longer legs than I do torso, so it won't look like I have my seat jacked up as high. They're out of the black at the moment though :(. Another nice thing is that you can buy their frames without logos, but their logo is pretty cool, so I'm not really sure what I'm going to do.

  11. I'm pretty excited for this premiere business. But I thought it was supposed to be out on DVD by now?

    Also, anyone have opinions on Affinity frames? My pista is too small and thinking of getting one. I went to the store today, test rode one, felt pretty good and looks really good, love the pursuit style.
